Hi, I didn't find anything in the FAQ about this..
I currently have a ReplayTV 3030 (not showstopper), with AT&T digital cable. I am planning on getting DirecTV pretty soon, but they don't carry our locals on the DTV system. I contacted my cable company and they told me they offer a cheap package with just the local and public access channels, so I'm going to get that because the off-air reception is not good where I am (but of course not bad enough to get an override for national network feeds on DTV). My question is, can I set up the replay channel guide to seamlessly host the channels from both the cable locals and the DTV channels without having to manually switch inputs every time I want to go from NBC to HBO, etc? In other words, will NBC and HBO both sit in the same channel guide and replay will switch between the inputs behind the scenes?
Also, I'd like to use the serial connection feature to hook up the DTV receiver - which receivers support this feature and of those can anyone recommend one over another?
Thanks
